Finally, AI That Explains "Why"

The biggest problem with AI hiring is the "Black Box." You don't know why a candidate was ranked #1. TESSA is different.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does TESSA replace my recruiters?

No. TESSA is a "force multiplier." It handles the 10 hours of manual resume reviewing so your recruiters can spend those 10 hours talking to top-tier talent.

How does TESSA learn about my company?

You can upload your company handbook, specific job descriptions, or even pointers from "top performer" resumes in additional instructions as well across features. TESSA uses this data to understand exactly what a "Great Hire" looks like for you.

Is my candidate data safe?

Yes. TESSA operates within SkillSauce’s enterprise-grade secure environment. Your data is never used to train public AI models.

Can TESSA find candidates I already have?

Yes! TESSA’s "Talk to your Database" feature is designed to help you rediscover great talent that is already in your ATS but got buried over time.
